You can use new phone technology to make your business run more efficiently than ever before. This includes software that you can use right from your own computer to make automated calls to business. Thanks to new technology today, it is easier than ever for businesses to reach out to prospects by telephone. The new software works through your existing phone service or with services like VOIP and Skype. In order to use software to make automated calls from your computer, you need to have high speed internet access. You should also look for software that will remove any numbers on the Do Not Call list.

Many businesses are switching to automated call systems rather than using telemarketers to make manual calls. It makes more sense to do this as many times people will have a machine pick up the phone instead of picking it up themselves. Because some services make it economical to call all over the world, businesses are able to have their call centers in other states and countries that enable them to save money.

One way that your business can benefit from new phone technology is by using an auto dialer. The auto dialer service used through your computer does not require telecom equipment, unlike other auto dialer programs of the past. You can use an auto dialer or what is known as a predictive auto dialer. A predictive auto dialer will dial the telephone numbers for you and either leave a message or hang up if a machine picks up the phone. If a person answers the phone, the call is then switched within a matter of seconds to your call center or agents. This way, your agents are only talking to live people and not wasting time calling machines.

Another way that your business can benefit from new PC telephony technology is to use phone broadcast software that sends automated messages out to the masses. Phone broadcast technology is often used by large institutions such as schools, churches and government entities to get messages out in mass. It can also be used by businesses as a way to contact a large group of people with an announcement (such as a special sale) and generate sales leads.

There is also the text to voice type of software that transfers your typed text to a human sounding voice that is clear and concise. It can call up your prospects or clients and give them a personalized message, programmed by you.

If you have a business that depends on appointments, you want to make sure that your clients show up. You can save money by using software programmed to automatically dial and remind people of their appointments with an automated message. This can automatically be set up through your computer, saving your staff time.

Because of high speed internet services, you no longer have to depend on employees making phone calls to generate leads or follow up on appointments. You can use new PC telephony software to make your customer calls as long as you have high speed internet access.
